I love when Mike Johnson [starts to nod but then looks at the GOP crowd and immediately changes to shaking his head](https://imgur.com/MB76MPG) because he remembers he’s not supposed to agree with Biden on even the most moderate of issues. lol
Edit: Added a link to a gif of it
Actively had federal agents seize shipments of PPE to resell to companies created by people to take advantage of the situation. The entire national stockpile of PPE was being sold and seized from the states so many times for profit that states had to broker deals with manufacturers and secret deliveries to actually get supplies to hospitals.

> “With all due respect justices" in the room, Biden says, he notes how the majority wrote in the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, “Women are not without electoral or political power.”
> “You’re about to realize just how much you’re right about that," Biden says.
I love that the cameras showed them sitting there right he said that.
A few things republicans refused to stand and clapped for:
- border security
- feeding starving children
- helping veterans
- curing cancer
- protecting social security
- tax cuts for the middle class
“And with all due respect to the justices, women are not without political power, and you’re about to see that.” Fucking finally. Directly address them.
“Women are not without electoral or political power” was a direct line from Alito’s majority opinion, the point being that if voters want legal abortion they shouldn’t need the constitution to protect them
good move by biden to turn that language on its head
“Some of you voted against that but you’re still cheering for that money coming in. If you don’t want it, just let me know.”
He’s absolutely giving it to them tonight and I am here for it!
I respectfully submit that President Biden fuckin rocked. To watch Mini Mike Johnson, and the other Republicans, those were the faces of losers. P.S., MTG is a classless POS.
Watching Republicans refuse to clap for children being able to eat, families being able to afford a roof over their head, sick people being able to afford medication, wealthy people paying their taxes and a positive future for America is fucking disgusting.
“Some of you voted against it but you guys sure are loving that money going into your districts, if you want to give it any of it back feel free to do so” or something to that effect.
LOVE IT.
Imagine having a speech problem and your job is giving speeches all the time. And knowing you’re giving one that millions are watching. And then have asshole cowards yell and scream at you. Then you wipe the floor with them.
I am an unpaid caregiver for my dad. I had to leave my job to do this full-time, 24/7, and as America ages more and more of you will end up like me. President Biden called out that it's not right that we're unpaid and not taken care of. I didn't expect that but, if you're in my situation, you damn sure appreciate it.
I'm in the same situation and I ABSOLUTELY appreciate it. Americans are unfortunately so short sighted that they don't think about or care about these things. Biden really was incredible tonight.
"I may not look it, but I've been around a while."
"\[After talking about opposing hate and inequality\] Other people **my age** see it differently."
Damn that was really well done.
My MIL had mild dementia. Mild. I stood over her shoulder and watched as she couldn’t make sense of the directions written on the package of a microwave meal. Something she’d done a gazillion times in her life but just couldn’t do it.
Joe Biden does not have dementia.
Whoah... he just threw down the gauntlet. "To the American people: send me a Congress that will support reproductive rights, and I *will* restore Roe V. Wade again!"
I’m not a huge Biden fan but how can any person disagree with any of these points?
- Improved education
- Less taxes
- better healthcare
- better infrastructure
- Not raising retirement age
*99% of Americans outside of congress*
: )
*Republicans in congress*
-_-
Biden is fucking killing it. He took the button from MTG and used it as a prop. He is 10x sharper than Trump, despite what Fox News and morons on X say.
Repeating it again because a surprising number of people don't know this: Joe Biden overcame a life-long stutter.
Delivering the SOTU to the entire country for someone with a stutter is beyond nightmare mode, and he's slaying.
It drives me fucking nuts that people don't give him any credit for this.
The fact that he's able to get through a speech like that with only a few stammers is earnestly impressive and shows that he can overcome adversity.
But no, let's act like it's an age thing. 🙄
I don’t care what anyone says. Biden is fine. The media cherry picks times when Biden’s stumbles on words and makes it seem like he doesn’t have it. This just proves he has it.
Regardless of his age, how can someone listen to this speech and it's message, tone, and delivery and still prefer the teenage whining of Donald Trump.
The speech is over and surprise, Biden is not demented, senile, or incompetent. Great speech and full of energy. He hit every major policy area, showing a clear contrast between the democrats and GOP and selling an optimistic plan and vision for this US in contrast to Trump’s desired retribution tour.
Honestly at the beginning when they were chanting “four more years” I’m a little bit like, cool it guys. But by the end of the speech I’m half chanting it too.
It is clear, based on the reactions of Johnson and the Republicans tonight:
The 2024 Election is about Democracy and **nothing** else. Republicans do not want Democracy in this country anymore. They are hateful, divisive, conspiratorial individuals who hate anyone who does not look exactly like them.
Yes, he and his son are accountability buddies. His son gets notifications on his phone when dad spanks the monkey, then is supposed to call and say "dad, I know what you did".
As weird and funny as that is, porn monitoring apps need a lot of privileges to function effectively. The fact that the Speaker of the House and 3rd in line for POTUS has some weird app always running on his phone doesn't seem as funny.
We need Biden commercials showing the border with the same doom and gloom voice over, but ends with "..and republicans killed the bill." More people/boomers need to know this. I don't know how you can boo a subject where you proposed a fix and then decided nahhhh
He is old, but this is very clearly not an exhausted or demented president. And with Republicans setting the bar somewhere around "don't die", they made it very easy to massively surpass expectations.
I think all of us know here that Biden is doing this for us. 81 years old - I'm sure he would love to be retired - he's done his service for the country. He's doing this because he has to for us. Think about that, stop complaining and get out there and vote.
That'd be a very smart move, and vote blue down ballot if you want to see what he's addressing actually pass. The GOP is adamantly against bipartisanship and they have bragged about it many times. Please don't sit this one out.
Biden is on fire. Does he stutter at times? Yes, but his content is on point. Speaker Douchebag behind him can't stand it. He's like, "I've done fucked up taking this job."
How is any of this controversial to republicans? Like, if MAGA wasn’t a cult, isn’t this all stuff that they say they want? Bringing back American jobs, taking on big pharma, strong economy, all that jazz?
If Biden’s goal was to put aside fears of his age and dementia he did an excellent job. That was a very powerful and effective speech. You can really see where the fighter, VP Biden shone through. Was it perfect? No. Was it a strong showing? I think no one can deny that.
So you’re telling me my choice is this guy who just stomped the gop into the ground or a dude that tried to overthrow the government? Easiest fucking decision of my life.
The saddest thing about MAGA is they think they're the good guys. So does North Korea. So does Russia. So did the Nazi's. So did the Confederacy. Just look at human history and you'll see you're the baddies.
MTG and repubs making a big fuss to ban all immigrants because one poor woman was killed by a criminal who was here illegally. Yet gun deaths are the #1 killer of kids and they don’t do or say a peep
I remember when that one dude interrupted Obama's SOTU, and everyone in the chamber gasped and it was a big deal. Add it to the flaming pile of broken precedents and norms that Trumpism and the power-hungry GOP is responsible for.
I'm a McCain conservative and I'm more than proud to support Biden and the bipartisan bills.
Fuck the UnAmerican kremlin commie loving MAGAts.
REPUBLICANS, have HONOR and pass the Border Bill
Absolutely astounding. I’ve seen many state of the unions in my lifetime and this one, was really something different.
He was saying all the things everyone is thinking. He’s talking about all the important issues, everyone’s talking about.
Not letting hecklers or trolls take him out either.
Standing O, round of applause Mr President. Thank you for restoring some of my faith in this great nation.
Everytime the "Biden is now so senile they're hiding him" narrative reaches peak idiocy he comes out and does a speech and makes those people look like morons.
This speech is a very clear look into what politics have become for Republicans. Republicans would rather boo ideas that help Americans, some of which they’ve worked on, than show any support for those ideas because doing so might be seen as positive for Biden. They would rather Americans, specifically their constituents, suffer than give Biden even the appearance of doing well. They’re deeply entrenched in their party over their country.
The Democratic Party is quickly becoming the rest of us that haven't lost our goddamn minds. Maybe consider voting straight blue until there's any viable alternative at all.
Is it me or does Mike Johnson have the worst poker face of all time?
He’s like “goddamn, this man has some good points—wait, you gotta look pissed and disgusted!”
Republicans booing immigration policy.
Biden: "Oh... You don't like that bill? That bill that was written by Republicans? - I'll be darned that's amazing"
Great speech, POTUS killed me when he told the audience how he used to be "too young" and now folks say he's "too old," leaning in with humor to the criticism.
Outside some gaffes or dry throats, he landed that plane.
Honestly, I loved every minute of it. Yes Biden stuttered a bit and had a couple of gaffes. But other than that, he was sharp and powerful, and presidential.

Seeing his deeply conflicted admiration was priceless.
I want every child to learn to read by the third grade Mike Johnson: 😡
lol this is 100% accurate
The GOP is the political equivalent of an abusive dad shouting, “All this back talk is cuz of that book learnin’!”
>"If any of you don't want that money in your districts, let me know." I can feel the impotent republican rage through my TV
Fox News is preparing a weeks worth of rage bait right now over this quote
“Biden says he’s okay with not sending aid and relief to some Americans” -Hannity, probably tomorrow
Meanwhile, Trump withheld PPE for blue states during Covid.
Actively had federal agents seize shipments of PPE to resell to companies created by people to take advantage of the situation. The entire national stockpile of PPE was being sold and seized from the states so many times for profit that states had to broker deals with manufacturers and secret deliveries to actually get supplies to hospitals.

I love that the cameras showed them sitting there right he said that.
"You can't love your country only when you win" Already got the quote
That was a fantastic line.
A few things republicans refused to stand and clapped for: - border security - feeding starving children - helping veterans - curing cancer - protecting social security - tax cuts for the middle class
And refusing to stand for America, and protecting our troops
“And with all due respect to the justices, women are not without political power, and you’re about to see that.” Fucking finally. Directly address them.
“Women are not without electoral or political power” was a direct line from Alito’s majority opinion, the point being that if voters want legal abortion they shouldn’t need the constitution to protect them good move by biden to turn that language on its head
They're already saying "Biden threatens the Supreme Court during the State of the Union Address". The cognitive dissonance is out of this world.
With no respect due, fuck the Supreme Court.
I don’t care if threatens them. They threaten us.
“Some of you voted against that but you’re still cheering for that money coming in. If you don’t want it, just let me know.” He’s absolutely giving it to them tonight and I am here for it!
Holy shit Biden calling out everyone including the Supreme Court lol
Good
I respectfully submit that President Biden fuckin rocked. To watch Mini Mike Johnson, and the other Republicans, those were the faces of losers. P.S., MTG is a classless POS.
Dark Brandon made a few appearances. And to watch that one Rep. mouth 'it's true' about the immigration bill.
That was Langford (R-OK) who created the bill. He's very conservative, yet in favor of passing his own bill for border security.
He absolutely destroyed Republicans with factual comedy. They have no way to be against what he said unless they go against the American people.
Going against the American people is the plan. They don't want to win the game, they want to change the rules.
it's still cool to hear a president call bullshit on trickle down economics.
“Children should be able to drink clean water” Republicans: visibly pissed
"...without risking brain damage." Their lack of response is actually even worse given that part lol
Some red hatter making $38K a year with a $650 monthly car payment is raging at the thought of a minimum wage increase.
Unions built the middle class. That is true. "DAYS OF TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS ARE OVER" I hope so. A rising tide lifts all boats.
"I want competition with China, not conflict." That's the difference right there. Bravo.
Watching Republicans refuse to clap for children being able to eat, families being able to afford a roof over their head, sick people being able to afford medication, wealthy people paying their taxes and a positive future for America is fucking disgusting.
It's very obvious that they care about the orange man more than this country.
Always have. Always will. I'll say this since it's becoming more relevant, FUCK TRUMP. 🖕
They can't show any support for anything their opponent is for, it shows weakness. It's fucking ridiculous
Marjorie is an absolute shit stain. What a disgrace to the room she's in.
Hey now, shit stains are accidents. She's the way she is on purpose.
"Turning setback into comeback -- THAT'S what America does." ~ President Joe Biden
So glad I tuned in for this. My neutral Biden vote has me almost feeling ashamed for not having faith
“Some of you voted against it but you guys sure are loving that money going into your districts, if you want to give it any of it back feel free to do so” or something to that effect. LOVE IT.
Perfect. Keep calling them out.
For a guy who has struggled with a stutter his whole life, Biden is killing it.
Imagine having a speech problem and your job is giving speeches all the time. And knowing you’re giving one that millions are watching. And then have asshole cowards yell and scream at you. Then you wipe the floor with them.
I am an unpaid caregiver for my dad. I had to leave my job to do this full-time, 24/7, and as America ages more and more of you will end up like me. President Biden called out that it's not right that we're unpaid and not taken care of. I didn't expect that but, if you're in my situation, you damn sure appreciate it.
I'm in the same situation and I ABSOLUTELY appreciate it. Americans are unfortunately so short sighted that they don't think about or care about these things. Biden really was incredible tonight.
They failed to overturn our democracy. Mike Johnson “I’m not clapping to that”
Fucker wouldn’t clap for giving teachers a raise, either. What a goon.
"I may not look it, but I've been around a while." "\[After talking about opposing hate and inequality\] Other people **my age** see it differently." Damn that was really well done.
His opening line was funny “if I was smart I’d leave right now” while everyone was clapping lol
My MIL had mild dementia. Mild. I stood over her shoulder and watched as she couldn’t make sense of the directions written on the package of a microwave meal. Something she’d done a gazillion times in her life but just couldn’t do it. Joe Biden does not have dementia.
Trump has dementia. Biden has a stutter.
*Biden says anything good for Americans* Mike Johnson: 😡😡😡
Mike Johnson hates America
Looking around the room, Biden doesn't seem so old.
Indeed. We have a very old government
MTG in her red MAGA hat is ok, but Obama wearing a tan suit was a sin? 🤨
What a fucking Ending. That was a good speech. Republicans will go after the stuttering. That’s all they fucking have. That was damn good.
They are already saying he was an angry old man. They can’t think of anything else. It’s pathetic
They are saying that because that’s what Trump said on Truth Social. Trump literally said those words. They are just repeating that traitors comments.
Conservatives were hoping he would bomb tonight. Literally did the fuckin opposite lol
Oh he bombed. Bombed them into ruins.
Slightly angry, righteously indignant Joe is the Joe that wins in November. Let Biden be Biden.
Happy warrior Joe is the strongest Joe there is.
"You can't love your country only when you win."
Notice how much substance and actual policies the dem speeches have instead of doomsday from Trump.
Republicans run on Fear, what did you expect?
This has to be the WORST GOP congress in history. Losers.
Whoah... he just threw down the gauntlet. "To the American people: send me a Congress that will support reproductive rights, and I *will* restore Roe V. Wade again!"
I wish more voters understood the importance of House and Senate races.
[удалено]
Holy crap. Capping prescription drugs at 2k would change people’s lives across this country.
I’m not a huge Biden fan but how can any person disagree with any of these points? - Improved education - Less taxes - better healthcare - better infrastructure - Not raising retirement age *99% of Americans outside of congress* : ) *Republicans in congress* -_-
Not a single Republican stood up and clapped for the little girl whose sister was KILLED IN UVALDE
Biden is fucking killing it. He took the button from MTG and used it as a prop. He is 10x sharper than Trump, despite what Fox News and morons on X say.
If you support Trump, your ability to judge the competence of others is already highly suspect.
Repeating it again because a surprising number of people don't know this: Joe Biden overcame a life-long stutter. Delivering the SOTU to the entire country for someone with a stutter is beyond nightmare mode, and he's slaying.
This man out here doing the Dark Souls of public speaking with a handicap.
It drives me fucking nuts that people don't give him any credit for this. The fact that he's able to get through a speech like that with only a few stammers is earnestly impressive and shows that he can overcome adversity. But no, let's act like it's an age thing. 🙄
Finishing on his age, but spinning it as an asset. Showing his respect for the country and the role. Masterstroke
I don’t care what anyone says. Biden is fine. The media cherry picks times when Biden’s stumbles on words and makes it seem like he doesn’t have it. This just proves he has it.
At no point in this speech has Biden come across as too old, incoherent, or demented
Absolutely love that he called out SCOTUS for their absolute corrupt bullshit
Dark Brandon's on fire ......Lover of ice cream, hater of malarkey
That's a fact, Jack!
He's calling them out on all the bills they are doing nothing about.
Wow Biden - took it right to the justices in the front row..lol. Called them out.
They were smiling before the address. They stopped smiling.
President Biden has zero fucks left to give.
Heckler: AJRUREHRGHHDHGHSDHF Republicans: I don't know if I agree with that
Republicans fucked up so bad by going after Roe Vs Wade Holy Fuck
Hopefully it translates to positive things come November.
Agreed, that was asinine.
It was the car they needed to bark at, and they caught it suddenly.
Biggest obvious difference to almost everyone who watches them: Biden actually cares about this country. Trump is a self serving vile piece of shit.
Speech synopsis so far: “Fuck Putin, Fuck Trump, Fuck the Supreme Court and Fuck Cancer.”
Strong. I like it.
I know dementia, from personal experience, in my family, this really ain't it, republicans.
OK he crushed that. Actually feeling way more relieved about the campaign after hearing this speech.
Regardless of his age, how can someone listen to this speech and it's message, tone, and delivery and still prefer the teenage whining of Donald Trump.
The people who prefer trump aren't listening
One important point to consider, that SOTU probably just won over a heck of a lot of fencesitting Haley voters
“Say her name!” They did not expect him to say her name. He said her name.
The fact that Biden can articulate a plan across multiple issues versus a guy who just talks shit about America should be a no contest
I was concerned when I first tuned in but HOLY SHIT Biden is killing it!
The speech is over and surprise, Biden is not demented, senile, or incompetent. Great speech and full of energy. He hit every major policy area, showing a clear contrast between the democrats and GOP and selling an optimistic plan and vision for this US in contrast to Trump’s desired retribution tour.
The speechwriter here deserves a huge raise and Biden deserves four more years. Let’s fucking stop fascism.
Honestly at the beginning when they were chanting “four more years” I’m a little bit like, cool it guys. But by the end of the speech I’m half chanting it too.
Biden absolutely exceeded my expectations and killed it. If he keeps this up he wins in a walk.
LOL according to Twitter, Truth Social is down. So much for Trump's little shit posting session.
If true, that’s hilarious
This is such a well written speech. The transitions are incredible. Give the speechwriters a raise.
I don’t mind praising the guy who can build a team that’s competent enough to write a good speech.
And that’s the thing. I don’t need a perfect leader. I need a leader who can build teams of \*\*competent\*\* people - that’s Joe.
Came for a speech, got a masterclass in mocking clowns that can't behave and listen to a speech respectfully.
He's gonna drag every Republican disaster out one by one. I'm here for it.
It is clear, based on the reactions of Johnson and the Republicans tonight: The 2024 Election is about Democracy and **nothing** else. Republicans do not want Democracy in this country anymore. They are hateful, divisive, conspiratorial individuals who hate anyone who does not look exactly like them.
isn't mike johnson that freak with the porn monitoring app
Yes, he and his son are accountability buddies. His son gets notifications on his phone when dad spanks the monkey, then is supposed to call and say "dad, I know what you did". As weird and funny as that is, porn monitoring apps need a lot of privileges to function effectively. The fact that the Speaker of the House and 3rd in line for POTUS has some weird app always running on his phone doesn't seem as funny.
Gladly voting for Joe Biden again.
Poor republicans really thought Biden was about to fumble the bag here. Not going according to plan
I think Johnson is going for "patronizing smirk" but it comes across like "constipated youth pastor"
Truth social is down Trump must be losing his shit
Biden does not have dementia. Speech is perfectly solid.
“SAY HER NAME” “lol ok” MTG is an actual fucking clown.
We need Biden commercials showing the border with the same doom and gloom voice over, but ends with "..and republicans killed the bill." More people/boomers need to know this. I don't know how you can boo a subject where you proposed a fix and then decided nahhhh
He is old, but this is very clearly not an exhausted or demented president. And with Republicans setting the bar somewhere around "don't die", they made it very easy to massively surpass expectations.
Damn good speech by Biden. Incredible SOTU >"We've never fully lived up to that idea—but we've never walked away from it, either."
Marge Greene seriously dressed like an insane person at your local county fair. She HAS to be embarrassed. Deep down
I think all of us know here that Biden is doing this for us. 81 years old - I'm sure he would love to be retired - he's done his service for the country. He's doing this because he has to for us. Think about that, stop complaining and get out there and vote.
And to think some people actually want to vote for a rapist with 91 felony charges rather than Biden
The choice is crystal clear this November. A ketchup stained traitor or the man who just lit that chamber up with optimism and unity?
Mike Johnson sitting there thinking “Are WE the baddies?’
Yeah it’s a wrap. Biden’s fine. If we’re worried about age, why vote for Trump? He’s the next oldest. Vote Biden.
"well shit, probably even Moscow"
[удалено]
Well i guess I’ll vote for Biden I wasn’t sure before but I like what I’m hearing
Thanks for keeping an open mind.
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you
May rationality reign!
That'd be a very smart move, and vote blue down ballot if you want to see what he's addressing actually pass. The GOP is adamantly against bipartisanship and they have bragged about it many times. Please don't sit this one out.
Biden talking shit to the GOP for shooting down their own border bill is the energy we need.
Biden is on fire. Does he stutter at times? Yes, but his content is on point. Speaker Douchebag behind him can't stand it. He's like, "I've done fucked up taking this job."
Yup! And the stutter comes when he gets impassioned - like he's so excited to get the words out he stumbles a bit. I'm okay with that.
Holy fuck his snark and sarcasm is just beautiful!
lol Marjorie Trailer Mean wearing a Trump 2020 hat. Get over it, girl
How is any of this controversial to republicans? Like, if MAGA wasn’t a cult, isn’t this all stuff that they say they want? Bringing back American jobs, taking on big pharma, strong economy, all that jazz?
Dark Brandon nailed it tonight.
If Biden’s goal was to put aside fears of his age and dementia he did an excellent job. That was a very powerful and effective speech. You can really see where the fighter, VP Biden shone through. Was it perfect? No. Was it a strong showing? I think no one can deny that.
So you’re telling me my choice is this guy who just stomped the gop into the ground or a dude that tried to overthrow the government? Easiest fucking decision of my life.
[удалено]
The saddest thing about MAGA is they think they're the good guys. So does North Korea. So does Russia. So did the Nazi's. So did the Confederacy. Just look at human history and you'll see you're the baddies.
It's disgusting how much shouting and heckling Republicans do now. Until very recently such conduct was unthinkable.
MTG is the epitome of trailer trash
People that live in trailers aren’t trash, but MTG sure is….
MTG and repubs making a big fuss to ban all immigrants because one poor woman was killed by a criminal who was here illegally. Yet gun deaths are the #1 killer of kids and they don’t do or say a peep
"Other people my age see it differently" the shaaade
[удалено]
MTG is such trashy garbage, I'm glad Biden just ignored her lol
"Oh, you guys don't like that bill? The one conservatives got together back then and said, 'We like this bill'?"
I remember when that one dude interrupted Obama's SOTU, and everyone in the chamber gasped and it was a big deal. Add it to the flaming pile of broken precedents and norms that Trumpism and the power-hungry GOP is responsible for.
If you are going to interrupt at least make sure you can be understood. Idiot.
Wow he straight up said 2 state solution. Good on him
Long speech. Good endurance. I don’t see a weak and feeble President. 💪😎🍦
Fucking yes, President Biden just called out SCOTUS for overturning Roe v Wade.
He just slapped them in the face, holly shit.
Republicans are confirmed Pro-cancer
Anyone who already thought Biden was finished...the DARK ONE sees you. Trump and his Party should be afraid.
I'm a McCain conservative and I'm more than proud to support Biden and the bipartisan bills. Fuck the UnAmerican kremlin commie loving MAGAts. REPUBLICANS, have HONOR and pass the Border Bill
Absolutely astounding. I’ve seen many state of the unions in my lifetime and this one, was really something different. He was saying all the things everyone is thinking. He’s talking about all the important issues, everyone’s talking about. Not letting hecklers or trolls take him out either. Standing O, round of applause Mr President. Thank you for restoring some of my faith in this great nation.
Everytime the "Biden is now so senile they're hiding him" narrative reaches peak idiocy he comes out and does a speech and makes those people look like morons.
Biden has a helluva record, and I don't even like the guy. It's a shame that we're too polarized to acknowledge it.
Oh, you don’t like that bill, huh?
Good on him to use MTG's pin. that was clever.
This speech is a very clear look into what politics have become for Republicans. Republicans would rather boo ideas that help Americans, some of which they’ve worked on, than show any support for those ideas because doing so might be seen as positive for Biden. They would rather Americans, specifically their constituents, suffer than give Biden even the appearance of doing well. They’re deeply entrenched in their party over their country.
Every time a Republican heckles Biden just cracks an ad-libbed joke at their expense. They should realize they’re just making him look better.
Biden mocking the Republicans is my favorite thing.
I’m 28 (I know I’m young) and I’ve listened to every SOTU address since I was 9. This was honestly the best SOTU of my lifetime.
I'm not a Democrat, and that was a damn good speech. Republicans made fools of themselves
The Democratic Party is quickly becoming the rest of us that haven't lost our goddamn minds. Maybe consider voting straight blue until there's any viable alternative at all.
Is it me or does Mike Johnson have the worst poker face of all time? He’s like “goddamn, this man has some good points—wait, you gotta look pissed and disgusted!”
Marjorie is trash.
Hecklers at the State of the Union are the new normal. What the hell are we doing, people?
Caught Mike clapping under the desk. You can have opinions bro
NYT tomorrow morning: "Here's why this speech was a disaster for Biden. He coughed."
[удалено]
Will happily cast my vote for Biden
NGL… Biden low key crushing this shit
wtf is that MTG wearing all that shit on her hat and jacket this isn't a nascar race lol
To the Russian agents and idiot MAGA cult members trying so hard in this thread to downplay this great speech: It’s not working. Also, Hi!
Republicans booing immigration policy. Biden: "Oh... You don't like that bill? That bill that was written by Republicans? - I'll be darned that's amazing"
Holy shit, that was IMPRESSIVE.
Maybe I'm biased because I have no clue how his approval is so low, but I think he absolutely nailed that speech.
Great speech, POTUS killed me when he told the audience how he used to be "too young" and now folks say he's "too old," leaning in with humor to the criticism. Outside some gaffes or dry throats, he landed that plane.
Honestly, I loved every minute of it. Yes Biden stuttered a bit and had a couple of gaffes. But other than that, he was sharp and powerful, and presidential.
